I am relocating from Virginia to Il and am leaning towards the Geneva, St Charles area. I am blessed enough to have a private lake to ski on and just put the boat up for sale, because I didn't see nearby places to ski. What is the Fox river like? Where else is there to ski near by?

Last week I saw where rodltg2 put up a post about west coast ski lakes that he found so I looked to see what Illinois had and found near Willmington at rte.53 and 125 there's a ski lake subdivision with 2 lakes established and it looks like another being started with slalom courses and jump ramp all set up side by side. So this last weekend my wife ,daughter and I drove up to Lisle to see my son and we drove by to see this place. Maybe this is old news to you all up in the Chicago and burbs area but this was a real sharp looking place very nice community. Don't know if this is the type of skiing any of you enjoy or if just you hit the lake and freelance ski. Pretty impressive though, just thought I'd pass it along I will try to find the map were I found this place.

One other thing I remember there was the Illinois State Championships or the Midwest Championships held up there in that area last year and I don't know if they were at this site or on the strip mine lakes along I-55north of Braidwood.
